Re: [xmlvm-users] Licence issues

[Björn C. <bj...@ca...>]

Time for me to enter the debate. For me it has been clear from the start
what the licensing was and what that meant to me.
I saw it as a good thing that everybody that what to get the benefit of
other peoples work had to contribute them self. That is what open source
is about in my opinion.
I have been working on a JavaME compatibility library for the iPhone for
a couple of moths and intended to contribute it to XMLVM when I had
cleaned it up.
If other people contribute code I get the benefit from it and we can all
make money on selling the iPhone app. I am ok with that some contribute
a little and others a lot. There is no absolute justice. However if
there is a monetary contribution all of it goes to the core team and
nothing to the others (me).
This is nothing unique for XMLVM, others have dual licensing but I have
always wondered why anyone would contribute to such a project!.

From being very positive I am now reconsidering my contribution to XMLVM.
